Can I ask to return to the office after working remotely?
Yes, if remote work isn't ideal for you, it's okay to request a return to the office, if available.
Although remote work has become the norm for many, not everyone thrives in a home-based environment. If you find that working remotely isn’t ideal for your productivity or mental health, it’s okay to ask to return to the office. Discuss your preference with your manager, explaining how an office environment could enhance your performance. Many companies offer flexible arrangements, so if they still have office spaces, they might accommodate your request. Employers generally want their employees to work in conditions that support their best performance.
